Benanti Carricante Pietra Marina 2019 · 750 ml

Benanti’s Pietra Marina is widely regarded as the benchmark expression of Etna’s noble white grape, Carricante. From old vines rooted in volcanic soils at high altitude on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna, this Etna Bianco Superiore is fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel to preserve purity and enhance texture. A rare and collectible wine that embodies the tension, minerality, and elegance of Etna’s unique terroir.

Profile

Elegant, mineral, and complex, with aromas of citrus peel, white flowers, fresh herbs, and a distinctive volcanic smokiness. Crisp and saline on the palate, with layers of lemon, green apple, and flinty minerality leading to a long, precise finish.
